http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Erik-Pieters-c12766 returns to training ground – Dutch Eredivisie News
PSV Eindhoven star defender, Erik Pieters, has returned to train with the first team after missing a week due to knee injury. The left-back complained about having severe pain in his left knee last week. Consequently, he missed the Eredivisie encounter against
SC http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Heracles-Almelo-c39520 on Sunday, April 16. However, reports from the Philips Stadion have confirmed that the versatile defender has started training with the team.
Fred Rutten, PSV manager, has received morale boosting news just before their upcoming clash against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 Rotterdam, as Pieters will be back in the starting eleven. The Boeren will play the Rotterdam outfit at the Feijenoord Stadion on Sunday, April
24.
Rutten was also pleased to hear that his prolific striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ola-Toivonen-c28363, is improving much quicker than he anticipated. The prolific Swede striker was suffering from a hamstring injury last week, but has recovered very quickly. It is expected that the 24-year-old
striker will play against De Stadionclub next week.
Wilfred Bouma will also return on the field to involve himself in the action, as he missed the last week’s win over the Heraclieden due to suspension following his red card in the match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Heerenveen-c40463 a week before.
Rutten would be feeling extremely confident going in to this encounter. Rutten’s troops played impressively in their earlier encounter against the Rotterdam outfit this season in front of their home crowd, as the Boeren emerged victorious 10-0 convincingly.
Rutten will be hoping that his men could deliver same kind of performance in this duel as well and secure all three points.
The Boeren are currently the table toppers, but they are separated from the second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 Amsterdam, are trailing the Boeren by a solitary point.
With nine points left to play for, all three top Eredivisie sides have a good chance of lifting the league title. The Boeren would be boosted with the news that three of their star players have returned to action. However, any slip-ups can prove very costly
for the Eindhoven outfit’s aim to become Dutch champions.
